If you love citrus desserts like these Keto Lemon Bars and Glazed Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake, you will LOVE this Dairy-Free & Keto Key Lime Pie!

It's easy to make, extra creamy, and has a graham cracker style crust with the perfect sweet/tart ratio!

Key limes are a bit smaller and pack more of a punch than regular limes and are the star ingredient. However, key limes can be harder to find so this recipe will work with any limes you can find!

The keto sweetener

For the crust, I use an erythritol-based keto powdered sweetener. I use an erythritol-based sweetener because otherwise, the crust will turn out too soft.

For the filling, any keto powdered sweetener should work. I always use Powdered Monk Fruit Erythritol Blend since that's what I use for the crust.

Also, if you choose Powdered Allulose, it’s only 70% as sweet as sugar. So if using allulose you’ll need to add a few extra tablespoons.

For Paleo, you can powder some coconut palm sugar. Just make sure the blender is completely dry! It will slightly affect the color and give it a slight caramel taste but will work.

How to make dairy-free key lime pie

To make a dairy-free key lime pie, simply sub the condensed milk with coconut cream!

For the coconut cream, place a can of full-fat canned coconut milk in the fridge for 24 hours then scoop out the coagulated cream.

I only recommend Thai Kitchen, Sprouts, and Native Forest brands because other brands may not separate well or have a funny aftertaste.

If the cream is too hard to stir, heat just a few seconds in the microwave or on low on the stove just until softened but not melted.

The crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Then, whisk together some almond flour, cinnamon, powdered sweetener, and salt in a large bowl and some melted butter (can use non-dairy or ghee).

Stir the melted butter and an egg into the dry ingredients and press into a lightly greased pie pan.

The mixture will be crumbly, however, if it's too crumbly to stick together, add more butter as needed.

Bake around 8 minutes, or just until starting to brown.

The filling

Whisk together freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, powdered sweetener, and coconut cream - starting with the lowest amount of lime juice and sweetener. Limes can vary a lot in taste, so taste the filling and add more lime juice and sweetener as needed.

Once you have the tartness and sweetener how you like, whisk in the coconut flour, eggs, and egg yolk then mix well.

As soon as the crust comes out of the oven, pour in the filling. By adding the filling to the hot crust, it keeps the filling from seeping into it.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the center is set. Allow to cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to finish setting up. This will take approximately an hour.

Serve with Dairy-Free Coconut Whipped Cream and Enjoy!!

💭 Top tips

• Start with the lower amounts of sweetener and lime juice then taste the pie and add more as needed. Lime juice can vary a lot in taste, so tasting and adding more as you go will ensure the perfect sweet/tart ratio every time.
• Be sure to whisk the eggs and egg yolk into the batter really well. This will ensure the pie cooks evenly.
• To keep the filling from seeping into the crust: 1) Don’t poke holes in the crust when pre-baking and 2) Pour the filling into the crust and bake as soon as the crust comes out of the oven. If the crust puffs up while pre-baking, gently press it down before pouring in the filling.
• Please, please USE FRESH LIMES and not the reconstituted stuff, it's just not the same!
